What it is
A chewable toothbrush is a small capsule (or tablet). Small bristles are located along the contour, which perform the main function - they clean the surface of the teeth.
Like chewing gum, this device can only be used once. So after use it must be thrown away.
In order to use the chewing instrument for its intended purpose, no special efforts and special skills are required. For cleaning with such an unusual method, it is enough to place the capsule in the oral cavity, and then use the tongue to move it along the teeth and gums. In this way, you can cleanse the oral cavity from
plaque and accumulated harmful microbes. After the procedure, a pleasant mint taste is noticeably felt.Advantages and disadvantages
Among the main advantages are the following:
- The device is universal, it can be used at any time and in any setting: at home, at work, in a cafe and on a walk.
- For brushing teeth no toothpaste or water needed. A miniature product will cope with the work on its own.
- During the procedure, hands remain free, there is time to do other important things.
Unfortunately, this chewing pad, which acts as a substitute for a toothbrush, has its drawbacks:
- On average, the price for a pack of chewing brushes is significantly higher than that of gum. But, if you use them periodically, you can save money.
- The chewing brush is disposable. After use, it must be disposed of.
- The process of cleaning the oral cavity with such a tool requires concentration, while using chewing gum does not need it.
Despite its effectiveness, a chewing brush cannot replace standard tooth brushing. But if you urgently need to freshen your breath, this device will become a lifesaver.
Indications and contraindications
Like any other innovation, the device has its advantages and disadvantages. Now we need to figure out for whom this "know-how" is intended, and to whom it is contraindicated.
The chewing product is a mobile tool for cleaning the mouth, it can be used every day. In addition, this device is suitable for those who cannot use chewing gum, for example, those with gastrointestinal diseases.
Despite the fact that fluoride and xylitol do not harm the body, there are times when they can cause an allergic reaction in a person. Therefore, such a tool is contraindicated for people with individual intolerance to the components.
Also prohibited for use by small children. The instructions provide an age limit of 3 years.
An overview of chewable toothbrushes
The Fuzzy brush and Rolly brush have taken the leading positions in the modern market of oral care products. They have the same functionality, but there are some differences.
Fuzzy brush
The Fuzzy Brush, originally from the UK, has been developed by qualified dentists. Outwardly, the device resembles a miniature brush with silicone bristles, at the end of which xylitol is applied in a thin layer. This substance is excellent at fighting bacteria that cause caries, effectively removes plaque.
The shape of the disposable Fuzzy Brush allows it to adhere to the teeth and thoroughly clean the oral cavity. The result is not only clean teeth, but also fresh breath.
The Fuzzy Brush price is about 500 rubles. The package contains at least 10 pieces. If you don't use it every day, the price is quite worth it.
Rolly Brush
The Rolly Brush is a pill (or pad) shaped disposable toothbrush. She cleans with the same silicone bristles located along its contour. The device is impregnated with fluoride and xylitol to help keep your mouth clean.
Unlike its competitor, Rolly Brush is safe to swallow. It does not decompose during digestion and leaves the body in its original state. But this does not mean that you can constantly swallow this product!
The price of such a device is about one dollar for several pieces.

Fuzzy brush purchased from Ozon.ru. I'm happy with the result. The brush gently cleans and perfectly removes plaque where chewing gum fails. I guarantee!

I used special xylitol lozenges. But compared to a chewing brush, they are not as effective. I use it every day. I'm not in a hurry to see the dentist.
